Shipping Container Barns

Anybody here built a shipping container barn. I am thinking of taking two 20 ft containers and using them for the sides and building a roof over them. I have a rented place where I could put them. Figure if I built them on skids I(maybe railroad ties) it would make a nice portable shed to store some bales, park a tractor, or other things at the that place since it is a ways from some of my other ground. Anyone done this and if so how do you like it? Thanks.

What is your sales area? I am looking into putting up another 40 x 80 hoop structure and since CoverAll is belly up I need another quality company. i am located near Joliet, Ill.

I'm in North Liberty In. Doing a generic search on Google maps shows Joliet to North Liberty at 96 miles with a 2 hour drive time.

Really don't have a set area of coverage, however to get the full discount it has to be delivered here, then I'll inspect it for shipping damage. Not much of a discount if you just buy it from me, then have it drop shipped to your place. Usually shipping will run a little cheaper shipped here as the company's that Clearspan ships thru know they can bring in a tractor with a full sleeper, a 53' trailor and have absolutely no problems getting in or out as they can drive right in without any backing up or getting hung up.

I have seen 2 such installations. Seems like a good idea for folks that are worried about not being around all that much and want to protect their tools and all. I think the $2-3k price delivered is where they were. Have seen advertisements in the paper.

If you have a flatbed trailer you can just go to the yard and pick one up here after dealing with a broker. I have moved a 20 and a 40 ft with my 35' trailer . I pulled the ramps off of it and had them load it and strapped it down. To unload I used a tractor as an anchor and just drove out from under it placing blocks under it to level as I did so. I did make some heavy duty metal stakes to go in the stake pockets to help guide the container off straight, 2X4s just sheared off if it wanted to go sideways.
